The Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride was a night to remember for residents in Stony Plain.

Residents filled Heritage Park in Stony Plain for two sold out performances this past weekend. A total of 32 officers mounted on horseback performed intricate figures and drills choreographed to music. The musical ride performs in 50 communities across Canada between the months of May and October. This is the first time the ride has been in Stony Plain in over two decades. The event was organized by the Stony Plain Kinsmen Club.

“The show was just incredible. The coordination and the timing it takes those horses to do what they do, it was amazing. There are vehicles on display for kids to play on, and it’s a beautiful day,” said Stony Plain resident Joanne Deschamps.

RCMP Motorcycles, armoured trucks, custom classic cars, and even a helicopter was on display for residents to get a closer look at. Youth were given the opportunity to get inside some of the vehicles, including a police boat, and one of the motorcycles on display.
